meanwhile...

So, we're in the heat of the summer right now and I say there's no better time to be holed up in your sewing room than when it's 100 degrees outside.

For once, I'm actually getting an early start on fall table runners for the shop. It's usually October 1st before I realize, hey, it's fall, might like to make some fun things for halloween.
I was trying out some Barn Bats (tutorial by Elizabeth Hartman) for something different. Pretty easy but pay attention when you're sewing the wings column to the heads column. I had to remake a whole set of bats cause I didn't line them up right.
And, between making bats, I made spiderwebs! For our do. Good Stitches circle. Really nice, soothing colors here!
Stay cool friends!

About Me

Hi I'm Emily. I'm a wife and a mom and I love to create things with my hands. This started out as a knitting blog but as my interests have grown it has morphed into more than just a blog about knitting. Quilting is my other main passion. My mom taught me when I was little and I picked it back up several years ago when I discovered all the gorgeous designer fabrics. Thanks for reading!
